Chapter 39 Entering the Mountain (please collect and recommend)
It was Zhang An who made dinner.
During the day, Wang Fang protested against her family's living standards during this period.
So Zhang An didn't think about cooking much at night, he simply made a pot of spicy soup and ate hot pot on the stove.
Stir-fry a few pieces of fat meat with a spoonful of pork, add home-made oil and chili pepper, stir-fry the chopped onions and garlic until the fragrance comes out, add in the sliced potatoes and stir-fry.
Pour the home-cooked green bean soup into the pot.
The side dish is pea tips that Zhang An picked in the yard. The pea tips from other people's homes have begun to bloom and prepare to produce small peas this season.
But the peas in Zhang Anyuan's house actually sprouted new shoots while bearing fruit.
Zhang An dug up a large handful of coriander. He didn't think about chopping it up, but washed the whole plant including the roots and leaves, and scalded it for eating.
This is something Zhang An has wanted to do since his previous life. However, the coriander grown at home in his previous life was too small, troublesome to wash, and not satisfying to eat.
Later, even after Zhang Anjin started working, the sales of this stuff were still too expensive.
It's only a little bit for more than ten yuan, so Zhang An, who especially likes coriander, has only achieved coriander freedom in this life.
Coriander is the local name, and its scientific name is coriander.
The reviews of this thing are too extreme, some people like it very much, and some people who hate it don't want to touch it at all.
After Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang washed their hands and came in, the family started to have dinner.
Zhang An put the tip of a chopstick into the spicy oily soup that was boiling over the fire, and it was cooked in just a few seconds.
It's a pity that no one selling tofu is here today, otherwise it would be beautiful to buy a piece of old tofu and cook it together.
Coriander needs to be cooked for a while longer than pea tips. Although it can be eaten raw, it is better to cook it with the roots for a while.
Cooked coriander has a unique texture. Zhang An’s favorite is the root of coriander, which is especially delicious when cooked and has a hint of sweetness.
If there was an Internet today and it was posted online, this way of eating would definitely be criticized.
The family was enjoying their meal when they heard someone shouting outside the door.
"Jianguo, Xiaoan..."
Zhang An got up and saw that it was the second grandfather. Xiaohu had already brought the second grandfather in.
"Second Grandpa, come and eat quickly."
Zhang An found a chair for Grandpa Er to sit down by the stove.
Wang Fang also stood up and brought a pair of bowls and chopsticks over, but instead of loading them with rice, Zhang An poured out some of the gastrodia wine he had brewed earlier from the cabinet.
Originally, the second grandfather said he wouldn’t eat, but he couldn’t stand the enthusiasm of Zhang An’s family, not to mention that Zhang An had already used his ultimate move.
As soon as the wine was poured out, the second grandfather stopped refusing.
At this moment, Wang Fang also took out the sliced meat from the refrigerator and asked Grandpa Second to cook it and drink it.
Second Grandpa took a sip and raised his brows slightly.
"This wine in your house is made from gastrodia elata." The second grandfather didn't even look at it when he first poured the wine. After drinking it, he tried out what ingredients were in it.
Sure enough, drinking wine for so many years is not in vain, the ginger is still spicy and the experience is rich.
"Yes, Second Master, Xiao An and I found this on the mountain last year, above the Dishui Pond. We have been soaking in it for several months."
Zhang Jianguo explained with a smile.
"This wine is good. Gastrodia elata is not very old, so it's okay."
After finishing a small bowl of wine, Zhang An gave the old man some food. The old man didn't show any pretense and just ate a bowl of beans before getting down to business.
"I plan to go for a walk in the mountains tomorrow, so I want Zhang An to take the family dog with me."
Mr. Zhang has been walking in the mountains all his life, and is familiar with many herbs and medicines in the forest.
As I get older, I may not be able to go into the mountains anymore.
So he thought about passing on some of his things to his children and grandchildren.
The sons and nephews at home are not interested in this and are busy taking care of the family.
The children and grandchildren are not very old, Zhang An is only twenty years old, so he is considered a personal choice.
The old man had the same plan in his previous life, but Zhang An didn't like going into the mountains at that time, so the old man's plan came to nothing.
Later, several cousins grew up, but the old man was also older and it was inconvenient to go into the mountains.
What this thing emphasizes is step-by-step on-site explanation and teaching.
"I have long wanted to go into the mountains with the second master." Zhang An said with a smile.
Mr. Zhang doesn’t believe this at all, why?
He had told Zhang An about this before, but Zhang An didn't go at all.
It was during this period that Zhang An became more sensible than before, and he also liked to crawl into the mountains, so Mr. Zhang opened his mouth again.
"You little monkey, you are coaxing me. I called you a few years ago, so why don't you come with me?"
Zhang An was not embarrassed at all. He was only a few years old at that time and did not understand that the mountains were full of treasures.
"Isn't that because we are young and ignorant? Anyway, we have all been mountain people all our lives. We rely on the mountains and the water. How can we not be close to the mountains?"
"The little guy who was ignorant before has grown up. It's good to be sensible and know how to be down-to-earth. We mountain people just want to be close to the mountains." When Zhang An was born, several of his brothers were still there, and everyone was still young at that time.
.
In the blink of an eye, the little guy has grown so big, and the hair on his head has turned white. Time flies so fast.
Early the next morning, after Zhang An got up and washed up, Wang Fang cooked a bowl of noodles and added two fried eggs.
The three dogs at home are also eating.
Zhang An only plans to take Xiaohu there today, and the other two brothers will stay at home.
There were too many places for Zhang An to watch.
Mr. Zhang also said that if we don’t go into the mountains today, we will just wander around the outside.
I've been staying at home since before the Chinese New Year, so it's time to go out and have some fun.
After eating, Zhang An took the prepared tools and went to Erye.
Zhang An prepared to carry a small bamboo basket, filled with cakes to eat, and a pot of tea prepared by his mother.
Originally, Zhang An didn't want to take it with him because there was water in the space, but he couldn't explain it clearly, so he just took it with him.
Although some prey can be caught in the mountains, they don't stay in the mountains for too long, and it takes time to get food from the mountains.
Moreover, there is no hunting in spring. This is an unwritten tradition. Most of the animals in the forest are pregnant now, so hunting is not possible.
When we arrived at the second master's house, he was eating. Originally, the second grandma was going to cook it for Zhang An. Zhang An said that he had eaten it, and his mother got up early in the morning to cook it.
The second mistress took the pot off the fire.
After the second master finished eating, he also carried a small bamboo basket on his back.
The difference is that the second master brought a small medicine hoe and a walking stick.
The walking stick is very useful in the woods this season. It can not only be used to walk on it, but also to pat the grass in front of you from time to time.
It is spring now, and it is about to enter the third month of the lunar calendar. As the saying goes, snakes come out of the mountains on March 3rd.
But in fact, every March 3rd, hibernating snakes also wake up.
There might be one coiled in the grass somewhere you don't notice.
It would be fine if it wasn't poisonous, but it would be difficult to get bitten by a poisonous one, and current medical conditions are underdeveloped.
Venomous snakes abound in the mountains and forests. Zhang An encountered highly venomous snakes such as green bamboo snakes and white knot snakes in the mountains.
Qingzhubiao is the local common name. People's nickname is Zhuyeqing, and the white-knuckle snake is the bungar snake. These two things are highly poisonous.
